Amazon Will Start Selling And Shipping Real Christmas Trees In November

Something new is coming to Amazon …. Christmas trees. They plan to sell and ship fresh, full-size Christmas trees starting in November. The selection will include Douglas firs and Norfolk Island pines. The trees will be bound and shipped without water, in a box. Amazon says they’ll be sent within 10 days of being cut down, possibly even sooner, and should survive the shipping just fine. Some will qualify for Prime free shipping. A 7-foot Fraser fir from a North Carolina farm will cost $115, according to an Amazon holiday preview book. Also listed are a $50 wreath and a $25 red-leafed plant with a decorative candy cane speared into the soil.
